Add timeless Italian elegance to your home or garden with this Rare Antique Terracotta Female Facial Sculpture, dating back to the early 1800s. Handcrafted in Impruneta, Italy—a town famed for producing the finest terracotta in Florence and the greater Tuscany region—this exceptional piece is believed to have originated from the historic Florentine factory closely associated with the Medici family estate commissions.

Originally intended for architectural placement on the exterior of a grand home, this beautiful facial relief was designed to flank an entryway, paired with a matching male sculpture (listed in our catalog as item #J027-A). Together, they would create a balanced, classical aesthetic emblematic of Tuscan estate design.

The interior reveals the artisan’s delicate hand-molding technique, seamlessly integrated into the clay base. The face is expressive—soft and serene, yet imbued with quiet strength, particularly in the eyes. This blend of grace and power is a hallmark of traditional Italian terracotta sculpture.

Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, this female terracotta face sculpture makes a stunning architectural accent, wall-mounted art piece, or an elegant feature in new estate construction or landscape design.
